Harley Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Will be doing a new paint job soon and want to keep it the original colors. All I know is its silver with I'm guessing charcoal rockers and flares. Everything is pretty sun faded and the stickers are either gone or faded. Does anybody have any info on how I can find what exactly the original colors were so I know what to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raviolli Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 find out from a dealer with your VIN the only place i can think of for the paint code on our trucks would be the glovebox :dunno: but i know my sticker is missing too. you could always try matching it. if you do that, make sure you choose a spot thats been covered for the majority of its life so its closest to the factory color (not faded or weathered) but make sure to clean the area and allow natural light when choosing colors. theres also a gun-like device that scans the paint just by putting it against the vehicle and with the press of a button, it gives you the mixture for that exact color. i bet if you went to a automotive paint supply store, theyd have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 There is a tag on the firewall near the windshield above the brake booster that has the paint code on it. Mine is GW.........that's it........thought there would be more to it but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's an 86, the tag will be on the radiator support. It is right behind the left headlight and is held on with 2 rivets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Should be a 2-3 alpha code in the bottom left corner of tag. Take it by a auto paint store........they will show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
